Your Guide to Boarding Kennels and Catteries in the UK

The Boarding Kennels Website

Established for 8 years, the purpose of this site is to offer free listings, map locations and further details where available to enable pet owners to locate a boarding kennel that is right for their dog. Different breeds and personality types have varying requirements - no one kennel is right for all dogs and owners.

The Perfect Kennel?

Standards in all kennels have improved enormously over the last 20 years or so, though there are unfortunately still some boarding establishments that leave a lot to be desired. Whilst there are highly luxurious Pet Hotels for which you pay a premium price, in general traditional kennels will offer a good standard of comfort with generous exercise, quality food, heating and luxury bedding as standard.

There is no one kennel or type of boarding kennel that is perfect for all dogs - but there is one that is perfect for yours if you take the time to find it.

We strongly recommend visiting a kennel before boarding for the first time and give some detailed pointers on boarding your dog and how to make it successful for everyone - your dog, you and the boarding kennel.

Kennel Owners for Over 25 years

As hands-on owners of a boarding kennels and cattery for over 25 years we can see it from all points of view. What we are perfectly sure of is that the majority of dogs enjoy the stimulation and social experience of boarding - as long as you choose the right kennel. The owners find separation much more difficult.

Remember, the most important element of a kennels is the people who will be caring for your dog; if you find them kind and helpful then it is very likely that your dog will agree and enjoy his stay.
